Gill's Notes on the Bible

Mine eyes also shall see my desire on mine enemies,.... The Targum supplies thus,

"shall see destruction;''

Aben Ezra, shall see "the vengeance of God", as in Psalms 58:10, and Kimchi, as we do, shall "see what I will", or "my desire"; which arose not from a revengeful spirit, or from a spirit of private revenge, but from a regard to the glory of God, and the honour of his name; and in no other view could the destruction of fellow creatures, though his enemies, be grateful to him:

and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me; he should see the ruin of some, and hear of the destruction of others; that which his eyes saw not, his ears should hear; the report would be brought to him; as in the latter day the voice of the angel will be heard, "Babylon is fallen"; and other voices heard in heaven, giving glory to God; an account of which will be acceptable to the saints, because of the justice of God, and the honour of it, as well as because it will make for their future peace and comfort,

Revelation 18:2.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Mine eye also shall see my desire - That is, I shall be permitted to see the destruction of my foes; I shall be gratified with seeing them overthrown. On the sentiment here expressed, see Psalms 54:7, note; Psalms 59:10, note.

On mine enemies - The word used here - שׁור shûr - occurs nowhere else. It means, properly, a lier-in-wait; one who “watches;” one who is in ambush; and refers to persons who “watched” his conduct; who “watched” for his ruin.

And mine ears ... - literally, “Of those rising up against me, evil-doers, my ear shall hear.” He would hear of their ruin; he would hear what he desired to hear.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 92:11. Mine eye also shall see, - and mine ears shall hear — Even in my own times my enemies shall be destroyed; and of this destruction I shall either be an eye-witness or have authentic information.
